Spend a day with Kelvin

Published on Jan, 2025

Spent the day touring around the Island with Kelvin who was super interesting, informative and a gracious host. Highly recommend !!!

Kona coffee, history and lots of turtles

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was Kelvin, a lifelong Hawaii resident. Well versed in the history and culture of the Islands, especially the big island as that Is where he lives. Visited a local coffee plantation with free Kona coffee tasting. Of course with plenty to purchase. Visited the historic painted church, stopped at a local restaurant to buy lunch (excellent fish, both raw and cooked and poi). Then finished at the costal NPS historical park where we saw many turtles close up. Highly recommend!

10/10! You must GO!

Published on Jan, 2025

Big thank you to Kelvin. We went to so many cool places and learned so many awesome facts. The party of 6 on 1/15/25 just loved it! We love Kona and we love Kelvin. Thanks again!

Kona coffee and painted church

Published on Dec, 2024

Kevin is great. Enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to everyone. The Kona coffee farm was excellent. The pained church was impressive.

Great time!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great time! We were a little disappointed because we didn’t see many turtles, but the rest of the tour made up for it. Our guide was great and very informative.
